today's newspaper feature on animal welfare societies really made me think long and hard. it's taken for granted that dogs are man's best friend, yet some of us reciprocate this love with cruelty and neglect. are we really as intelligent as we make ourselves out to be? my mum is anti animals and she said she'd rather save a human from a shark, than do anything for sharks. she suffers from common-misconception-itis, that is that all sharks kill, and eat only human flesh. of the many many species of sharks in the world, i believe that less than 10 harm humans. the only reason they'll harm humans is if you were stupid enough to poke them and cause them rage (i mean..if you poke me and make me annoyed..chances are you'll get a good hard knock, or a smack, so how can you expect a shark, a much less civilised animal, to treat you nicely aft you've annoyed it?). of course...if you were bleeding freely, you can expect a man-eating shark to eat you up. this is called instinct. so sharks aren't what i set out to talk abt..but i think they prove a point. that very often, people are too judgemental and treat animals they way they feel animals shld be treated. people who aren't prepared for a pet should NEVER even think of owning one.
make today the day you pledge to be nice to animals because they deserve it (you have to mean it). that as humans, our acts of humanity extend beyond helping fellow homo sapiens cos they aren't all nice. most humans are conniving, rude or annoying (i say MOST) whilst most pets (not animals) crave only for love, and shower you with love, attention and loyalty. i can't say the same thing for most humans actually. i have little faith in Man. so..today..do a little something for your pets (if you have one), and if you don't have a pet, there are still things you can do.
i'm intending to open my future home to fostering unwanted doggies. (i'm forewarning you! you better like dogs if you intend to visit!)
